Our little Oni

Our five year old, Colin, is in the kindergarten class at Japanese school this year.  He came home yesterday with this oni mask.  Doesn't he make the cutest little ogre? 

Japanese School New Years Potluck

Every January the Japanese School does a potluck to celebrate the new year.  

I thought this onigiri (rice ball) was too cute, I love ladybugs!

They were doing a traditional dance.  

Gavin did a dance with some of the other kids.

Weekend Fun and Projects

A couple of cute pictures from this week's gymnastics class!

Gavin made a わに (alligator) at Japanese school.  It was SO cute!

We made picture rails for the wall.  We used 2x2's, hangers, a chair rail, finishing nails, and stain to complete our project.  

Big helpers!!!

The before and after shots of where the picture rails will go.  In the after shots I tried to get creative with our clock and put what each number stands for on the clock.  Not sure if the kids even care.  I try anyway!

The boys watched a spin off of the British claymation show, "Shaun the Sheep" called "Timmy Time."

In that show they made trains using a box and decorations.  Of course the boys wanted to do it as well!!!

I got a new vacuum cleaner, yay!

I asked my 5-year-old (Gavin) if he wants another baby and he said yes. Then in a sing song voice he said, "I want to see how the baby comes out."

While driving towards the sun, 3-year-old (Colin) said,  "Daddy, can you turn down the sun, so it's not shining in my sight?"

Gymnastics class and mochi!

Colin took a preschool gymnastics class.  Fun times!

Parachute time!

Video of some of Colin's fun!

Gavin made mochi at Japanese school!  Yum!
